Mike Lauder
United Kingdom
Dr Mike Lauder MBE served as a Royal Engineer in the British Army for 25 years. On leaving the Army he continued to work on a wide range of projects until he started his doctorate in 2008. His doctoral thesis examined how we think about risk in our quest to develop foresight. His first book (“it should never happen again”) examined whether public inquires add to our understanding of risk taking. “In pursuit of foresight” is his second book. His research showed how many crises and accidents have their roots in those involved trying to manage a complex (chaotic) world using linear (cause-effect) based tools. His current work is the consideration of how we may develop more suitable tools to operate in a world where chaos is recognised as being normal.
